I picked the wrong one when I was a kid. I barely know why I picked the instance I did. It is hard to pick one. I say when trying to join lemmy, there should be interests tags that you select and an instance is populated for you.

You can also use PocketPal. Works offline.

So wouldnt a sugnificant number of people want more than they have?

You can still bribe leaders in a communist system. Woman amd healthcare exist in lots of capalist systems.

While most people who were alive in the former Soviet block would prefer to go back to when it existed because it caused a huge economic disaster when they sold the countries off for parts and privatized everything for the oligarchs

Not even close to most. Make friends in Europe.

The important part is that it’s a system not focused on things like GDP, growth, or money made by corporations to determine success, but the happiness and well-being of all the humans as a collective

Don’t I have the power over my happiness in capitalism because I can work towards higher wealth extraction to achieve my own goals?.

Who decides when growth isn’t required?

The Soviet Union threatened my parents and grandparents lives. My country did try it, we decided against it. All the issues that capitalism has, communism still has. Add centralized power, and human exploitation is worse. Communism will not solve your problems.

Why wouldn’t communism lead to cancer like growth? Wouldn’t political leaders be incentivized by the masses for never ending quality of life improvements?

Money is not the problem, it’s people. If replace the system, nothing changes. If we want sustainability, that needs to be desired by the masses, and that is achievable without communism.

That is naive. People will still fight for power and exploit others to get it.

Doesn’t communism consume everything too?

My understanding is that flash was under ordered so SSD prices will be high for a long while.
